It helps to compare used and new parts side by side.
 
\n
 
Contact points, rubbing areas, and places where you pull or push.
\nParts\u2014understanding how they move and where they wear might make you go “huh, interesting”?
 
\n
 
This is just my own investigation.
\nI had high hopes, but the body is different after all… it didn’t work out.
 
\n
 
After assembling this far… anomaly discovered\u2605
\nShallow… too shallow.
 
\n
 
The #4 PJ hole is stripped. My guess: someone seized the PJ, stripped it, drilled it out, and it shifted.
\nIt had some issues, but we re-tapped it and got it sorted, though there’s still some uncertainty.
 
\nChoke lever synchronization, so to speak\u2014
\nWe bend and adjust to make sure all four are firmly OFF.
\nOPEN can be pulled as much as you want with the cable, but OFF relies on spring tension.
\n“All four OFF smoothly” is safe and reliable.
 
\n
 
The float valve\u2014stepped sections, rubber hardness at the tip\u2014
\nand the spring tension inside the rear pin must also be checked.
 
\n
 
There’s no manual, so we confirmed with the manufacturer.
\nIt’s pretty loose, but that’s fine. First we check the float level,
 
\n
 
and with the actual fuel level all four lined up perfectly…
\nTomorrow we’ll assemble and test ride to finish\u2605<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
